  • Title: “Foot Strip”
  • Submitted by: Jimmy C. (Texas)
  • Jimmy's son found this in an order of Popeye's chicken. Jimmy took the photo right before his brave son munched it down. Before anyone suggests a lawsuit, he reports that it was all meat. Even so... I'll quote Jimmy: "Aauuugghh!"

  • Title: “Frustrated Gold-Mining Pepper”
  • Media: Pepper. Frustration at lack of gold.
  • Submitted by: Ara P.
  • Ara referred to this as a "habanero chile fist," but (please work with me here), I am certain that if I had a great-grandfather who was a gold miner who then got angry at not finding any gold in the claim he just bought from a local businessman, this is a pepper-based representation of the face he'd make.

  • Submitted by: Astrid (Germany)
  • You no longer need to worry about ruining a diet with delicious snacks! German scientists have produced a confection that exercises for you. Simply consume this tiny chocolate man and he runs his way to your health while being digested. (1 man = 45 minutes on the treadmill)

  • Media: Onions. Love. Oil. High Heat.
  • Submitted by: Ericka K.
  • Slicing a simple onion reveals ring upon ring of small hearts. Perfect for sautéing, apparently.

  • Title: “Pregnant Pepper”
  • Media: Momma Pepper. Baby Peppers
  • Submitted by: Heather S.
  • Heather writes: "After I cut the top off of the seemingly normal pepper, I noticed a tiny baby pepper nestled all snugly in it's peppery womb. Upon removing the poor thing, I noticed that it was not one baby, but two- conjoined twin baby peppers. This whole thing was too traumatizing for me, and I couldn't bring myself to eat the mamma pepper or the baby peppers. To date, the pappa pepper has not been identified." Twin baby peppers! Mazel tov!

  • Title: “Chilipeno Tumor”
  • Media: Chilipeno. Radiation?
  • Submitted by: Luke (Seattle, WA)
  • Luke writes: "Long have I dreamed of discovering something worthy of submission to the Museum of Food Anomalies, and today that dream came true when I absent-mindedly reached in to a bag of Penny's Chilipeno Corn Chips and found a fried cornmeal tumor almost the size of my palm."

heart_of_tomato.jpg

  • Title: “Heart-Warming Tomato”
  • Media: Tomato. Hurt feelings. Time.
  • Submitted by: Sergio V.
  • Sergio sends in this tomato in the shape of a heart. It looks as if it had been broken at one time, but is healing nicely. Hearts are like that.
